Pre Sales Specialist (gcp)

Abacus

Nairobi, kenya

full-time

This role is as much about judgment, narrative, and relationships as it is about technical depth. Proposals in this market are rarely won on technical merit alone: they are won by a solution story that a client's technical and business stakeholders can believe in, defended by someone the client trusts. The successful candidate will build and own that story, and the relationships behind it, across multiple markets, industries, and stakeholder groups at once, operating independently and owning outcomes end to end. Responsibilities Partner with the Regional Director and account teams to shape client solutions across Abacus's platform portfolio: Google Cloud (Apigee, GCP, Gemini Enterprise) and Devenex, Abacus's proprietary AI Execution Control Plane. Translate early-stage, often loosely defined business opportunities into structured technical proposals, solution architectures, and statements of work. Own the technical narrative in client-facing pitches, translating complex platform capability, including AI governance and execution control concepts, into a business story that resonates with Telco, banking, and government stakeholders. Lead solutioning and proposal writing for RFPs and RFIs, producing content that is original, accurate, commercially sound, and personally defensible in front of a client evaluation panel. Design and articulate AI governance frameworks for clients adopting agentic and AI-driven systems, using Devenex's execution model as the reference architecture. Independently build the commercial costing, or job order costing, for each proposal, and ensure it is reviewed by the correct internal stakeholders, including delivery, finance, legal, and practice leads, before submission. Present and defend proposal content directly with client technical stakeholders, procurement teams, and evaluation committees. Build and maintain deep technical fluency across the Apigee, GCP, Gemini Enterprise, and Devenex platforms, and how each maps to real client environments across SSA markets. Develop a personal network of client technical decision-makers, procurement contacts, delivery stakeholders, and partner contacts across priority markets. Represent Abacus at industry forums, partner briefings, and client workshops across the region, building the region's brand and its bench of technical champions. Support account teams during contract negotiation with technical clarifications, scope definition, and risk input. Required Experience & Skills 5 to 8+ years in pre-sales, solutions engineering, or technical consulting, ideally within a systems integrator, consultancy, or enterprise technology vendor. Working technical knowledge of API management platforms (Apigee or equivalent), cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud strongly preferred), and AI governance or execution control concepts for agentic and AI-driven systems. A demonstrated, personal track record of writing and structuring winning technical proposals and RFP responses, with strong original solutioning ability. Proven ability to build commercial costings and job order pricing for technical proposals independently, and to navigate internal approval processes without close oversight. An excellent, evidenced track record of stakeholder management, across client technical, commercial, and executive audiences, and across internal delivery, finance, and legal functions. Excellent storytelling and communication skills: able to turn technical detail into a business narrative that lands with both C-level and technical audiences. Prior exposure to Telco and/or Banking and Financial Services environments is strongly preferred. Self-driven, with the ability to operate independently and own the full proposal lifecycle end to end, with minimal day-to-day direction. Comfortable operating in a relationship-led, network-dependent commercial environment, of the kind typical of enterprise and government sales cycles in Sub-Saharan Africa. Willingness and ability to travel regularly across SSA markets. Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business Informatics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
